#February 2nd
#OTD Christmas decorations are to be taken down.

According to #Folklore, #Christmas greens were enjoyed until #Candlemas, but then the focus was on #Spring.

In England, the #Snowdrop is the first spring flower & has the common names "Fair Maid of February" & "Candlemas Bells."

"Snowdrops, in purest white array,
Rear their heads on Candlemas Day."

Snowdrops have an #InnerStrength.
They contain a natural form of #Antifreeze, which helps them survive & bloom in freezing weather.

#PetOwners are also #warned to be wary of #antifreeze , which tastes sweet but is #deadly for animals. Canada West #Veterinary Specialists recommended washing dogs' feet, legs and belly after a walk in case they came into contact with antifreeze or other dangerous chemicals.

@cm Thank you, I'm doing fine. I'm in the beautiful #Yukon. :-) The #antifreeze I put in the fuel worked fine. What doesn't work is the #Subaru #hydraulic system meant to keep the trunk door open so you can (un)load items. That door just slams shut unless I hold it up. The seat is hard until you heat it. And it's either AC or hot air, which isn't ideal, because human breath turns to ice on the inside of the windshield quickly.

in Winter he becomes the Vodka and Kool-Aid man. #AntiFreeze
